Emergency UNIX and Linux Support

I work with small text files. Connect to solaris with putty.

here are some of the ways i do to transfer information:
Hope these gave you some ideas on how to solve your issue

Good try.
The OP doesn't want to use any protocol, so smtp, ssh, and ftp is out of the question. As is http, rsync and rcp.

I'm not sure if this suggestion qualifies as not using a protocol (perhaps if no one is taking notes?), but You could always just move the hard disk from one computer to the other? Without looking in the manual?

Have u tried with sftp ?

You can use mc command, it is support ftp and NetBIOS.

go for rcp man.....dont make the process complicated...

When you say "copy a file" do you mean you want to copy one specific file one time or do you mean you have a reoccurring need to copy files?

Using scp is almost always the best option. It's secure, it's reliable and since you probably already have ssh set up, you probably don't need to set anything up that isn't already set up. If copying to/from windows you need to initiate the scp connection from an scp client (PuTTY is great) on the windows box for the no-need-to-set-anything-up claim to be true.

If you're trying to set up a regular automated copy, scp is still #1. You need to read up on using ssh keys for authentication. (Again the PuTTY manual is a good starting point if you're working from a windows perspective)

Other alternatives include putting the file on a web server, ftp server, smb server etc... but the conditions in which one of those would be better than scp are few. Could you tell us a little about why you don't want to use scp? Scp is the secure successor to rcp which is the remote version of cp, so I really think scp is what you want.

use winscp.....its really cool
